Anna Sullivan

Former Server/Bartender
Sequim,WA

Summary

I was raised in Sequim, WA and after 20 years moved to California to pursue school. I realize I have some gaps in work but I used my 20's to backpack and travel as much as I could. Funding those trips by bartending before moving back to Sequim 5 years ago.

I am a friendly person who is diligent and absolutely love working with people and making their time with me and whatever establishment I worked in at the moment as enjoyable as possible. I am successful in delivering quality service and calmly managing fast-paced environments with high-volumes of patrons with continuous demands.
